ATTACKED EY MASKED MEN.
Attempted Murder of Farmer Connor an,
His Family by Relatives

Attempted Murder of Farmer Connor and
His Family by Relatives.
DUBLIN Jan. l0.-Last Saturday six armed
men, wearing masks, entered the house of a
farmer named Copnor, living at Catherivy,
County Limerick. and without warning fred
upon the farmer and his family. The assailants
missed their aim, and Connor, who is an old
man, with mis- wife and children, made vgor-
ous and determined assault on the intruders.
the weapons used being chairs, pokers, ETC.
After desperate struggle, in which
the masks were torn from the faces
of the marauders the latter were routed
and, once outside the house. ran away at top
speed. Connor reported the affair to the SDlice
who. after a short search, arrested four brothers
named Connor, and relatives of the farmer and
brought them to the latter's house for identifi-
cation. They were promptly identified by the
farmer and nis wife. the latter pointing out a
cash on the side of the head of one of the pris-
oners which she had inflicted with a fat-ron.

Connor and one OF her sons were seriously cut
about the head and body with a scythe which

Jezreel then proceeded to expel these heretics
from the sect on the ground that they were not
pillars OF the church The quarrel thus made
pnbic has revealed much misery in many fami-
lies at Rochester, where fathers. mothers and
children had been misled and led astrav by this
most ridiculous of absurdities. One man Of
some prominence In the community deserted his
wife and children and threw up a good position
to join the sect, in connection with which he
submitted himself to all sorts of numliatiEg
Offices. Jezreel appears to have been a sort of
Brigham Young, except in the matter of mar
riage and as he had the handling of all the
moneys paid in, he and his wife looked upon it
as a lucky venture. It is almost bevOud belief
that such considerable number of men and
women could be found in England, outside of
lunatic asyiums, to be thus duped.
somewhat similar swindle has been shown
up during the past week at Brighton. A man
named Woods had organized down there sort
OF hospital whtre he claimed to cure people by
faith. Some OF those who submitted themselves
to his directions claimed to have been put under
mysterious influence which they were powerless
to resist and other patients were compelled to
walk IN what Woods called the sanctuary with
bare feet. The sanctuary was paved with rough
stones ana some OF the patients who walked IN
1t suffered great agony. Much Indignation was
aroused in the neighborhood, and last Tuesday
evening Mr.. Barker, druggist, and Mr.. Hughes,
an oil merchant, tried to gain admittance to the
hospital, but were refused, whereupon nun
dred or more persons collected and made a rush
and the place was thoroughly cleaned out Next
day Woods went before the magistrates and
swore ont warrant under az act of Parliament
of King George Ill, charging Messrs. Barker
and hughes with disturbing religious meeting.
The trial Is to come off next week.

REVENUE REDUCTION.

Movement That May Cause Change in Mr..
Randall's Plans.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-The Star this even
ing says that new moves are being made in the
game of revenue reductions. Messrs. Randall
and Hiscock, with their respective followings,
started out to circumvent Mr.. Morrison's tariff
schemes The Republicans who are opposed to
the abolition of the internal revenue are now
planning'to checkmate Mr.. Randall by voting to
consider the ways and means tariff bill if the
House goes into committee of the whole on rev.
enue matters. Representative Anderson, of
Kansas said to-day that if Mr.. Randall attempt
ed to carry out his revenue scheme there would
be enough Republicans who would vote against
his motion to lay aside the Morrison bill to de-
feat it, and if NIr. Morrisons friends stood by
him the bill reported favorably by the ways and
means committee would be taken up. If this
opposition appears too strong Mr. Randall may
change his plans

Bismarck win Take a Hand

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-Official newspapers say that
Prince Bismarck will certainly intervene in the
debate on the army bill in the Riechstag, and
that he will insist upon the adoption of the
seven years term, conceding nothing to the op-
ponents of the measure. The Westphalian
Mercury, the Clerical official organ, declares
that if the government cannot modify the
septennate scheme. the Center, equally obsti-
nate, will not sanction term longer than three
years.
The report that the government had forbidden
the expectation of horses is officially declared
to be untrue. The Cologne Gazette explains
that the rumor arose from inquiries made by the
War Office to ascertain whether the expectation
of horses is increasing
